re: the slyest, most hilarious, nauseating, self-serving nugget of OJ parole

"...I support the jury system"
Even when it's a 12 person jury, requiring unanimity, it should be comforting to an innocent person on trial. Yet, time and time again, cases with little evidence besides eyewitness testimony and/or other circumstantial evidence, result in a conviction (sometimes death penalty), only to later find exculpatory evidence proving their innocence.
And some states (I think Louisiana is one), an eyewitness can recant his/her story, and they can still present the original story as evidence. There are even cases where a single witness is really the only real evidence and that witness later recants the story, but the original story is admitted anyways, AND the person gets convicted. How DAs justify that reprehensible decision to move forward anyways, and how the jury makes those decisions, is terrifying.

Nah...just a coincidence. There's a new show I hear advertised on the radio about some jury expert, and all I think of every time I hear it is the OJ case.
Hell, I thought you were kidding...forgot I posted this, but the answer would be...no.

Didnt he say he had never used a weapon in an altercation with anyone before going to that hotel room during the parole hearing?
he said: “Nobody ever accused me of puling any weapon on them,” "Simpson told board members, unironically." “I would never ever pull a weapon on anybody.”
which is possibly true, because he killed his victims and they were/are not alive to make the accusation
that right there should have DENIED him from being paroled. DENIED.
that lie, or prevarication should have been enough for the parole board to deny him parole, they all KNEW that statement wasn't true, or was a gross distortion.
but the society we live in is frickED

I think sometimes the prosecution presents a witness who says something exculpatory and then the prosecutor coaches him up to recant the story, etc. So I'm not terribly bothered by that.
Although I get what you mean--sometimes their first story is bullshite.
